JD Long (@CMastication; 385/72): Automagically turn regression code into a LaTex equation with #rstats … this is pretty slick. https://t.co/qJHr3SVGjU ↪

Sharla Gelfand (@sharlagelfand; 219/36): TIL about #rstats stringr::str_squish()!

str_trim() just gets rid of whitespace at the beginning and end of a string, but str_squish() does that and reduces repeated whitespace within the string, too!

thanks @_sharleen_w for the tip 🙏🙏 https://t.co/1sATJaaEJi ↪

Ryan Peek (@riverpeek; 5/0): @Voovarb @vsbuffalo @noamross Thankfully all the UCs have different templates & req’d styles. Also it’s great that grad studies has made some minor changes to the requirements every year or so, so templates need to be updated. 😬

Phil McAleer (@McAleerP; 2/0): @ceptional @LisaDeBruine Thanks! Really appreciate that. Bookdown was great for me as by the time it came to convert the course, Lisa and @dalejbarr had ironed out the kinks. Pretty sure there is a template on the #psyteachr github site you could start on. Much more user friendly than Moodle. ↪

Daniel Finnegan (@Lancophone; 1/0): @heenrik I also am slowly shifting to R markdown with bookdown so I can couple stats subroutines with paper content and compile to LaTeX ↪

Tiffany Timbers (@TiffanyTimbers; 0/1): Question for #rstats bookdown experts (of which I am not one) - if there is a lag when scrolling through the book on the internet how do you tell whether this is the size of the book, your wifi, or too much traffic to GitHub Pages (and so I should serve it somewhere else)? ↪

knitr

Earo Wang (@earowang; 154/25): Compiling my #rmarkdown thesis for pdf & html. I’ve learned 2 #knitr tricks:
1️⃣ use eval = knitr::is_html_output() to tell #gganimate for gif, and is_latex_output() for pdf
2️⃣ use (ref:fig-cap) outside the chunk. If editing the caption, it avoids re-evaluating the chunk https://t.co/QdeqKjwZwu ↪

Erika Roper 🦜🏘🌳 (@_erikaroper; 54/14): Hey #RStats peeps! What’s your favourite way to produce a nice table of descriptive stats (ie means, SEs, CIs, sample sizes etc)?
Bonus points for html output and R Markdown/knitr compatibility. ↪

Jan Doe (@jkr_hb; 28/6): When you realize you can use R code directly within @overleaf / #LaTeX documents thanks to knitr. #rstats https://t.co/bkIO7eKDMh ↪

Rosalie Bruel (@RosalieBruel; 7/0): @JennyBryan Some packages that don’t need captions on my scripts:

Richard D. Morey (@richarddmorey; 5/0): I feel like I haven’t taken enough advantage of knitr::spin(). I’ve decided to using it for commenting data cleaning scripts and it is really nice, and as a bonus I can source() the code with no problems from other scripts https://t.co/UKHoMZusLU ↪

Federico Molina (@FedeMolinaMagne; 4/0): Una gema del paquete knitr

Y voila quedo formateado todo el documento ↪

Dr Gavin Simpson (@ucfagls; 4/0): @DaniRabaiotti I wouldn’t use markdown just to make code nice. A good liner, IDE, or style guide should help with that. If you want to mix prose with code, literate programming style, then yes, rmarkdown / knitr all the way ↪

Allison Koh 許恩惠 (@allisonkoh_; 3/2): Using knitr::purl() for the first time today has me wondering what I’ve been doing over the rest of my R career 🤦🏻‍♀️ #rstats ↪

Rachel Spinks (@RKSpinks; 3/0): @_erikaroper I use knitr::kable ↪

Jim Hester (@jimhester_; 3/0): @GaborCsardi @dirk_sch FWIW you can use R markdown / knitr to do full on literate programming, e.g. https://t.co/t0I6i8GWH3

Though in that example they use roxygen comments, I guess you could have a special chunk type that lets you use some sort of markdown derivative format. ↪

Sergio Uribe (@sergiouribe; 2/2): great session with

finding youR way (@rfindingyourway; 9/3): Writing good slide decks is hard, it’s way too easy to pack too much into your slides.

Gina Reynolds (@EvaMaeRey; 1/0): @tidypod @BenjaminWolfe Right - different fonts are available on different platforms. Also with @_Gil_Henriques’ code, I think there might have been something problematic with doing a the flipbook walk through. Like how the graphics device works and how it is going to work in Xaringan is messy. ↪

Wei Yang Tham (@wytham88; 1/0): @Andrew___Baker OK so you have a bunch of folders where your blogdown Project lives, like in the screenshot I attached? you wanna copy and paste the xaringan files into “static”, then push them to github https://t.co/QLbfXYqnet ↪
